One of the reasons why itis important for 1 to NOT be defined is prime is to make sure that the prime factorisation of any number is unique. Finding prime numbers . ‘Over 2000 years ago, a Greek mathematician called Eratosthenes made a simple tool for sorting out prime numbers, This tool is called the ‘Sieve of Eratosthenes’ and the diagram shows how it works for prime numbers up to 100.

There is no other way to work out where the nth prime number will be or what the distance between large primes will be. Riemann’s hypothesis (1859) claims you can accurately pinpoint the distribution of prime numbers. An Indian mathematician, Dr Kumar Eswaran published a proof for this hypothesis in 2016, but it has received mixed responses and is not yet fully accepted, a Riemann built his ideas on the prime number theorem.

Numbers like these, which have direction, are called directed numbers So if’ point 25m above sea level is at +25m, then a point 25m below sea level is at -25m, Once a direction is chosen to be positive, the opposite direction is taken to be negative. So: if up is positive, down is negative if right is positive, left is negative if north is positive, south is negative if above Dis positive, below 0 is negative. Recognising the type of problem helos you to choose the correct mathematical techniques for solving it.

When you do this you have to follow a sequence of rules so that there is no confusion about what operations you should do firs. The rules for the order of operations are complete operations in grouping symbols first deal with powers and roots next + do division and muhiplication next, working from lft to eight * do addition and subtraction last, working from left to right. “Many people use the letters BODMAS to remember the order of operations The letters stand for Brackets Orders Divide Multiply Add Subtract BODMAS indicates that indices (powers of are considered after brackets but before wae all other operations, ff You will apply the Grouping symbols args stil The most common grouping symbols in mathematics arc brackets.
